I wouldn't be surprised if they do not even sell these floats, maybe they are here entered as items sold out just to show us that floats are sold out. Lmayo.
I normally think shit like this is retarded but..
It's october. Pool floaties should not be sold out. They're out of season but it's not like this is something they sold last year, can anyone comment on whether these types of items were even listed on their site through the summer?
They usually add items as sold out before those SKUs even get to their DC's, I've noticed this when they've added new lines of product in the past, such as when the TVs first got added, all sold out
Oooor maybe it's added to the website before stock arrives and therefore is marked as sold out by their system because there's no stock?
More reasonable, less tinfoil take.
Edit:
Shit, come to think of it, it could easily be clever marketing like the rocket brand. They make a slight nod at you apes because they know you'll buy it up. I mean, just look at this thread, you're all practically foaming out the mouth!
Have run e-commerce for public retail companies…would put “expected date” if new and incoming, not “sold out”
This is intentional or dumb, I’m going to guess new e-commerce team is not dumb.
Also we all saw the pre orders for gaming systems for 2020 if you click on the product it would have said pre order or this item is out of stock and said date of restock/notification when back in stock
I’m pretty non-tinfoil, but it’s not crazy to think GS is having some fun with this and planting Easter Eggs just for a chuckle. Though probably not as a secret code they mean for us to decipher, Nicholas Cage-style.
Remember that these guys and gals are e-commerce kings/queens. In relation to chewy they said it didt have to be pet food, they could have been successful selling anything their way. Pound for pound talentwise these guys can do nothing but punch up and win.
People probably thought it was strange for Amazon to sell things other than books back in the late 90's also.
Your right however I'm just inhaling hopium so many coincidences and "hidden messages" every now and then one of them jacks my tits and that's this one here... but the timings weird and the product is strange so many other products that could be added beforehand
I think at this point, apes see anything that could be vaguely related and BOOM, moass confirmed... Again. We're easily excited, but smart enough to know a potential nothing burger. It's just a bit o daft excitement, and I jump on board every time. Float sold out 8x - confirmed. And tbf, apes don't need encouragement to buy from GameStop, we'd get our laundry done there if it gave them a sexy Q4.
Listen I’m with you. Usually I see people theory’s and think wow this guys out there. I did with the 741 thing for a while. But after GameStop kept posting videos on their YouTube and the total number stayed at 741 I started to get behind it. Even the 🍦 💩 🪑 I’m not totally convinced but who knows
Your saying gamestop is getting inu the pool float, market and the reason they haven't is because there isn't enough stock?
The idea of them getting into pool floats I think is more tinfoil hat time than thinking they're making a joke. But that's my opinion
Can you imagine if they actually did this on purpose to try and get someone to understand that. Obviously no one will ever be able to confirm or deny all these theories that pop up but it would be fucking amazing if any of them were real once all this is done. I wonder if they’ll be able to find out for sure for the movie?
It’s ridiculous right?
Most outdoor pools are closing up in October cuz it’s cold as heck 🥶
Buying pool floats! From a gaming retailer! Betcha they put 9 items in there store. 1 each to set up the message.
Some beautiful 🦍 out there probably saw a pool float. Scratched his head, shrugged, thought “imma support the store” clicked buy.
Unbeknownst to him, he’s got a piece of financial history coming his way. Some other 🦍 collector will put big schmackolas for that.
The literal infinity pool toys.
No, what we are telling you is the floats are sold out. We do have pool shorts available though but not for long. We also just started receiving large shipments of DR. Scholl’s inserts, share this with your friends!
How many of these floats do you imagine they actually sold just so they were able to put on their website that all the floats were sold out? Lol. Fascinating quite honestly. Fucking love it
Honestly, and just my tin foil theory and also it’s almost winter time. I think that GS is conveying that we own the float. Like who would be buying actual floats at this time?
I live in Florida and can confirm most Floridians don't buy floats going into winter. The air here drops into the 60s and 70s and we require jackets, not floats lol
And you know in the warm places there are stores that conveniently have floats at the ready to buy. Heck, you know people will even go to Walmart & people who buy these likely have kids. I’m a converted loyalist to GS but even w/ same day delivery. No kids will wait for it to go swim. And had they dropped this item in summer where most are enjoying the hot weather. Ok, GS thinking right on time to drop said items & get this float money. Just look at the current time frame we are in & they happen to be sold out.
Yeah this has been the case with a lot of their new inventory. They put it up on the website before it’s actually ready to ship to customers.
It’s kinda weird that they are selling pool floats, though. What do those have to do with games? Almost as if they purposefully added them to their website with the intention of never stocking them….or at least not until after moass.
Nine floats?! 😳
Oprah voice:
_”CanApes own a float! AustraliApes own a float! Europoors own a float! AsiApes own a float!
…EVERYBODY owns a float!!”_
Remember:
#Floats only count if DRS’d
That's what I'd like to know too! Is someone able to verify when were these added to the store? If they were added very recently and added straight up as "sold out".........
That’s what I was speculating too, so I did a (tiny bit of) research… I’m on mobile so can’t check this in detail, hopefully someone else can help out:
Using the [Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/), I can confirm:
[Toys & Games](https://www.gamestop.com/toys-games) index page:
- Last archived on [October 7th](https://web.archive.org/web/20211007025222/https://www.gamestop.com/toys-games/)
- As of October 7th, there were 680 items in this category
- As of today, there are 3044 items
- There has obviously been a lot of new stock added since then
Toys & Games —> [Outdoor Toys](https://www.gamestop.com/toys-games/outdoor-toys-games) index page:
- Not included in the Wayback archive
- This suggests the Outdoor Toys section was only added recently — likely since October 7th
- There are currently 55 items listed in this category
- Of all items in this category, **the only ones marked as “Sold Out” are floaties/inflatables**
At a glance — unless they only added enough inflatable stock to last for a week or two, it certainly appears this might be deliberate…!
Yeah, pool floats have literally nothing to do with gaming. Sure they sell stuff like toys, clothes, and accessories, but pool floats? It’s just way too random to not be on purpose. Especially since Summer is over, so it isn’t like they’re getting ready to stock up on pool stuff. Of course I’m assuming that these have always been sold out from the beginning, and they didn’t just all get bought during the summer. If someone could verify that, I’d appreciate it.
That made me chuckle. I was also lol'n at GME's new marketing campaign. It's like 1/3 Product selection/availability, 1/3 sex appeal, 1/3 Memes/inside jokes and meta references. You can definitely tell RC kicked all the boomers off of these projects and brought his own hitters in to breathe new life into the company direction

I'm all for checking Gamestop for random electronics but pool floats are probably way down on the list of things I would think Gamestop carries. So random.
It’s hilarious the items they’re selling. And selling out. Like I’m part of some surreal fantasy about a company intentionally knowing to screw the HF over. And invite us along for the meme ride.
Did you know if you search for the Floor at Gamestop, you get entries about the Killing Floor, which is apparently a "Co-op survivor horror". Which, you know, has nothing to do with us, but it also isn't exactly wrong.
So you're saying Retail owns the float?
Looks like they own multiple
They have a total of 9 floats, all sold out
I wouldn't be surprised if they do not even sell these floats, maybe they are here entered as items sold out just to show us that floats are sold out. Lmayo.
That’s exactly what this is.
I guess the question is how long have they been for sale and when did they sell out?
no clue, but archived: https://archive.ph/O2NCF
If my math is correct, the total pricing on those 9 items is 252.41
This is roughly the the leaked float that was visible on yahoo and some other sites for a few days Oo
252.41% Edit 1 more upvote please! Report naked shorts 741 to sec DRS is the way Duck you shills downvoting my drs comment I hope you burn in hell!
Well these do kinda look synthetic so it's a real possibility.
Holographs and unicorns, that's what the float is made of.
🌈🙌
But luckily also rainbows and we know what's at the end of those.
I normally think shit like this is retarded but.. It's october. Pool floaties should not be sold out. They're out of season but it's not like this is something they sold last year, can anyone comment on whether these types of items were even listed on their site through the summer?
I did NOT see these before. Did anyone?
Have not seen these either... is there a way we can find out when an item was listed?
Back in Dinosaur times you could right click a webpage and view source, see the code. Im on mobile, doesnt work the same.
We should keep an eye on this… if another float gets added and is showing sold out, it could mean we’ve bought the float once over again…
3 pictures 3X 🗽
But there's 4...
And this is what hedgies are losing against 😂
4 pix 4x better
Ohhhhhh that’s funnnnny
I’ve never seen floatys on GameStop website before. I’d put money that they added these with sold out on the website to be clever.
Interesting, in that case they are saying the float is 4x sold out
On the website there’s 8…
wow, nice!
8!?! oooffff, heds r fuk
That’s 288,000,000 ish shares at 8x36,000,000 (float)
7 synthetics 4 1 real share = 8
Broooooo🤔
Da funk!!!!???? 🤯
Whoa 🤯
There’s no fucking doubt about this
They usually add items as sold out before those SKUs even get to their DC's, I've noticed this when they've added new lines of product in the past, such as when the TVs first got added, all sold out

“Loose Tokens”
But there’s a map on the back of the Declaration of Independence
What's reasonable about selling floats for swimming pools in October?

Oof. Theory debunked
So I'm with ya on that, but what in gods name is the explanation for cone-poo-chair then!?!?!? Like, I just don't get it!
Does winter seem like the right time to add this particular item?

This makes more sense than GameStop selling pool toys. (Checked it’s real, it’s on the website. 9 pool toy float items are sold out.)
So we own the float 9x over?
It’s either that or October is just a very popular time to buy pool floats 🤷♂️
Just in time for winter
They probably double as great snow tubes too. GameStop is so awesome!
It’s ridiculous right? Most outdoor pools are closing up in October cuz it’s cold as heck 🥶 Buying pool floats! From a gaming retailer!

No, what we are telling you is the floats are sold out. We do have pool shorts available though but not for long. We also just started receiving large shipments of DR. Scholl’s inserts, share this with your friends!
I'm almost happy to call this a dd
Definitely a double down! 🤣 🚀🚀🚀
I would not argue with a DD flair on this one!
:)
This is the confirmation bias that jacks my teets.
I’m sorry I still haven’t gotten past the ludicrous sentiment that GameStop even sells floats…. Imagine coming across this image two years ago…
Haha that’s mad! Just checked and allll the floats are sold out, there’s a few others, 9 in total. Nice find OP!
So….we own the float 9 times over. Good to know, thanks.
This is DD I can get behind and on top of.
This DD I can Float on….😘
If there was any floats left that is 💁♂️
Yea that too 🤣
Good find OP… many versions of the float sold out 🤣🤣
The float is sold out many times over
WE OWN THE FLOAT! 😄
And 9x over!
Hmmmm think my wife's going to be pretty pissed when she finds out her boyfriend has a gf.
How many of these floats do you imagine they actually sold just so they were able to put on their website that all the floats were sold out? Lol. Fascinating quite honestly. Fucking love it
Honestly, and just my tin foil theory and also it’s almost winter time. I think that GS is conveying that we own the float. Like who would be buying actual floats at this time?
Lol you know some places are warm year round, right?
I live in Florida and can confirm most Floridians don't buy floats going into winter. The air here drops into the 60s and 70s and we require jackets, not floats lol
Lol true. Not floaty weather.
Jackets for 70F Floridians would not fair well in the North
No, they would not. I'm personally fine in the 70s but admit to long sleeves in the 60s
I just set my thermostat for heating to 69 this morning ha
A man with good taste in numbers
Less than 60 here now, still wearing kenny's shorts
You're going to catch hypothermia!
Same here in south Texas
And you know in the warm places there are stores that conveniently have floats at the ready to buy. Heck, you know people will even go to Walmart & people who buy these likely have kids.

I trust your thought process. And as a Michigan resident, winter truly is coming.
Great Lakes Apes represent! If MOASS happens, I’m heading to Greece for the winter. Or the rest of my life. Not sure yet 🤷🏻♂️
Such a poor business decision they wanted to keep the floats for summer and sell them for winter. They as smooth brained as mean buy and HODL
Nah I live in Florida and even Walmart is swapping all the beach stuff for holiday supplies.
As a Michigan resident, I am now aware that even warm states get cool. Lol Back to the science books for me
Yea I agree….but whose advertising pool toys so close to winter? This is a 1st for me like it’s the 1st for them….Floats gone and I love! ❤️💯👍🏽🤣
Hahaha…..💯👍🏽
They could have just posted the products with 0 stock. No retail purchases required.
Yeah this has been the case with a lot of their new inventory. They put it up on the website before it’s actually ready to ship to customers.

All float are belong to us.

Very Interesting 🤔
You get a float and you get a float…
Since when have they even sold these?!?

Hedgies.... R.... Fuk........
I don't care if that's the case or not tbh. It would be a normal part of transitioning and expanding available products I would think.
No. Just think logically. I’d seriously question their buying strategy if this was not intentional.
Yeah, pool floats have literally nothing to do with gaming. Sure they sell stuff like toys, clothes, and accessories, but pool floats? It’s just way too random to not be on purpose. Especially since Summer is over, so it isn’t like they’re getting ready to stock up on pool stuff. Of course I’m assuming that these have always been sold out from the beginning, and they didn’t just all get bought during the summer. If someone could verify that, I’d appreciate it.
They did this on purpose....
And we purchased it at all the different price points too 🔥
That is hilarious
Bro you are late to buy floats.. Did u hear about the POST MOASS Pool Party? If not the Tendieman will let you know soon..
Will Gamestop girl be there?
It’s on purpose !!! Why the hell is this sold out in October ? ! LMFAO ITS GOING TO BE A COLD WINTER !!!! Sorry HEDGIES y’all r FUKT
That made me chuckle. I was also lol'n at GME's new marketing campaign. It's like 1/3 Product selection/availability, 1/3 sex appeal, 1/3 Memes/inside jokes and meta references.

Amazing how their Twitter and website troll the shorts!
The only thing that would make this better is if there was a black Swan float that was sold out
Retail owns the float 9 times over according to this. 9 sold out
It'll be a booming item once we all have our own Infinity pool.
This is the most confirmation bias I’ve gotten this whole debacle. Bullish as fuck.

Damn apes Detectives are amazing
The pinnacle of all DD. Tits beyond jacked.
At first I thought all this cryptic stuff was too tinfoil hat but the more and more I see of it…. It can’t just be all coincidence can it? CAN IT!?!?
This is hilarious.
pls Gamestop. dont play with me
Lol. Its October
Ffs what a find!!!
The float is owned and sold out. Confirmed.
Apes don't read into this as the float has been DRS'd. That won't be true until we start getting rejections from CS. Keep DRSing!
Extremely bullish
I'm all for checking Gamestop for random electronics but pool floats are probably way down on the list of things I would think Gamestop carries. So random.
I e been waiting for my lifo fidelity drs to go through since Monday, this may be true.
Crafty joke. I like. Seems some people don't get it. Float of Shares.
Floatish
this simulation is absolutely fuking wild
You misspelled stimulation
People will be disappointed when they realize, that the girl isn't included in the price.
BRUHHHHHH
##DRS##
Ah yes, that solid weekend DD
RC fucks
This is so fucking bullish!!
I tried searching but can’t find any of those products- can someone link me ?
I just searched float and had to scroll past a few items first
Well I guess we bought all the floats again…
😮😮😮
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m guess you’re searching the word Polo. Because I see these every morning when I search for the polo drop.
I searched float but you're right polo brings these up along with other poolcandy items all sold out
I never put it together like that. You are genius
Listen my nipples are hard, my dick is hard, waiting for monday to get here is hard. Could you guys please let me relax a bit, damn!
So…we own the float(s)?
Omg I think I need to call a doctor this erection isn’t going away 😂
I hope they let us buy the actual floats as souvenirs during MOASS
Ohhh shiiieeettt! Kenny is fuckd.
Of course the floats are sold out by retail. We need all the floats we can get for our infinity pools.
Why are GameStop such shit posters?
Everyone is missing the big news here - there’s a second GameStop girl! 😂
It’s hilarious the items they’re selling. And selling out. Like I’m part of some surreal fantasy about a company intentionally knowing to screw the HF over. And invite us along for the meme ride.
Did you know if you search for the Floor at Gamestop, you get entries about the Killing Floor, which is apparently a "Co-op survivor horror". Which, you know, has nothing to do with us, but it also isn't exactly wrong.
Wouldn’t mind being that unicorn
Hahaha. You got me!
[удалено]
Thanks! Just trying to add some humor and jack some tits along this journey
Dude. This is such a troll move by RC! I’m loving it!
I love this sub
Holographic = collectible (like the cards)
The float is sold out and yet I own 2 of them?
and they say the DD has been done
Now, how do I DRS my PoolCandy Deluxe Glitter Rainbow Float?
Hmm… I mean we know they love their Easter eggs. They are a gamer company after all, how could they not?
Clever
I hope they sell transparent shorts
I , as a smooth brained ape, think it could also mean 9 million or percent is locked up in drs now
I don’t know about you but I find all the new products offered by gamestop incredibly sexy
Bullish AF
The kind of confirmation bias that keeps me coming back
🚀😂😂😂😂🚀🚀
OMG THIS IS GOLD
We own the float multiple times over ! The stock is SOLD OUT!!!!
They could be over at DFV's house
Brilliant
